The Vibe: Smart.

The Area: At 77 Walker markign the nexus of three iconic New York neighbourhoods: Tribeca, Soho, and Chinatown.

The DNA: A former button and ribbon factory in New York’s Tribeca neighbourhood has been turned into the boutique-style Walker Hotel Tribeca featuring an eclectic mix of modern furniture and industrial details. The Renaissance Revival building constructed in 1899 span three street frontages in downtown Manhattan. Arriving guests are encouraged to choose between a traditional check-in desk and the Walker Lobby at the top of the stairs. The area doubles as a 50-seat bar and lounge, anchored by a matching marble fireplace and dual rosewood Borsani shelving. In total, six food and beverage outlets are housed in the property, including an open-air rooftop terrace, and coffee shop.

Suite-Me-Up: The Walker Hotel’s 171 guest rooms span seven distinct categories, all sharing luxury-meets-academic finishes such as tobacco leather professor chairs, herringbone wood floors and beds piled with Garnier-Thiebaut percale linens. Bathrooms feature Carrara marble subway tiles and walk-in rain showers.
